Ten years ago, the Crimson Continent burned. Demons surged from the abyss. Kingdoms fell overnight. And humanity survived only because one man stood between annihilation and hope— Ares Kael, the War God. He died sealing the Abyss Gate. Or so the world believed. Now, a decade later, a seventeen-year-old orphan named Kael Rowan awakens in a remote village, surrounded by ruins left from the war. He has no memories before age twelve. No past. No family. Only nightmares of fire… and a heartbeat that doesn’t belong to a normal human.

At 9:14 AM, Daniel Reid wakes up on a park bench in downtown Chicago with no wallet, no phone, no keys—and a gap in his memory exactly 72 hours long. At 9:16 AM, he learns his apartment has been stripped clean, his bank accounts closed, and his digital identity erased as if he never existed. At 9:21 AM, the police inform him that Daniel Reid died in a fire three days ago. But Daniel is alive. Breathing. Thinking. Running. Forced into hiding, he discovers encrypted notes written in his own handwriting warning him not to trust the people closest to him—and revealing that the missing 72 hours may contain a secret worth killing for. As Daniel unravels the truth, he realizes he’s being hunted not for what he remembers… but for what he did while he couldn’t remember anything at all. And somewhere out there is a second version of him— one who knows exactly what happened.

When 22-year-old Adrian Vale inherits the crumbling Blackwater House, he expects dust, debts, and family secrets—not a sealed room that should not exist. Behind a rusted iron door lies an untouched chamber frozen in time, filled with journal entries from ancestors who all died young… and violently. Each page hints at the same terrifying truth: The house is alive— and it remembers every heir who ever betrayed it.

Ethan Cross should have died the night the secret research facility exploded. Everyone else did. But Ethan wakes among the ruins—alive, unbroken, and burning with a power that shouldn’t exist. His blood glows like molten iron. Time slows around him. And the kill squad sent to finish him learns the hard way that the experiment they created… refuses to stay dead. Hunted by shadow organizations, betrayed by the people he trusted, and haunted by fragments of a past they tried to erase, Ethan has only two choices: run until they finally kill him—or turn around and make the entire world regret touching him. With every battle, the buried power inside him grows. With every enemy he crushes, he gets closer to uncovering the truth behind Project Revenant—and the reason they needed him erased. They wanted a weapon. They awakened a nightmare. And Ethan Cross is coming for all of them.
